    If I think PTON will be 33.00 in the next 3-4 weeks, whats the best option
    to buy?

    If you were to buy just one option and your outlook was bullish by 37.5% you can plug that into the scanner and get the following:

    The way our process works is we adjust the distribution from an expected value of the current stock price to the expected value of 1+bullish 37.5. This shifts the distribution to the right until we calculate $33 by multiplying the node probability times the node price. Then we calculate the terminal values the options payoffs at each node. For example, the 5/6/2022 $30 for $0.86 has a terminal distribution value (D) of $495 or an expected return of 475.6%.

    Depending on the certainty of your outlook, this may or may not be the right approach for you. You can mouse over the $33 part of the distribution to fine tune the returns.

    the best option is to
    - use a simple straight ruler to help you determine the trend
    - lookout for higher lows before you long a stock
    - do nothing

    those who shorted it a few months ago are laughing all the way to the bank.
    where were you a few months ago?
    It seems like you missed a very very big opportunity to short PTON a few months ago.

    Instead of dreaming about pton going to 33, you need to reflect why you failed miserably to short PTON a few months ago.


    alternatively, use a nuclear-powered crystal ball to help you predict the future.

    anyway, happy catching the falling knife to you.

    and if you are serious about earning $$$ from trading, trade with the trend.
    and be early. DON'T BE LATE !

    Well obviously 21-28+ DTE.
     
  5. Ditto.

    Reminds me of the recent call by a big bank trading department... "Commodities may soar 40%". Yeah... after they have already risen nearly 300%!

    If that's all the better of your TA, maybe you should just close up shop and go fishing!

    Why are you bullish on PTON anyways?

    This chart looks more like $20 below in 3-4 weeks.

    i wouldn't necessarily call it bullish, just entering a range and we're near the bottom of that
    range with the top around 35-36ish.

    i would buy the stock outright but why tie up so much capital.

    and my "proprietary" :rolleyes: high probability technical set up is whats telling me about a month
    to reach that higher end of range.

    as always, i could be wrong.

    I am Not interested to wait for a month.

    But one thing to remember :
    work very very hard before you can bring home the bacon.
     
  10. The one that goes up the most, silly!

    (But if yours don't go up, don't buy it.)
